I had COVID back in May 2021 and was in quarantine. Things were normal until late August when I started having a cold and got treated with antibiotics. After finishing the antibiotics, I noticed this slight pain on the left side of my chest while breathing deeply, as well as pain in my left hand. It's not sharp anymore, just a constant feeling. My chest X-ray came back normal, but the ECG showed Sinus Tachycardia, and sometimes my heart rate spikes. I'm 26, recently quit smoking, and I'm worried if this could be something like COPD or lung cancer. I can hold my breath for over a minute and can exhale in about 15 seconds, so I'm not breathless. But I'm really anxious, my hands and feet get sweaty, and there's this skin issue on my lower foot which makes me think about hyperthyroidism. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm seriously worried.

View allI've got a blocked artery and I've just had a stent put in. I know I should avoid oil, butter, ghee, and paneer - so I've cut those out of my diet. But here's the thing, I really love rice. My wife says it's not good for me either. Can you tell me if it's okay to have a bowl of rice now and then?
Dear user, regarding your question about including rice in your diet after being diagnosed with a blocked artery and having a stent placed, it is important to focus on a heart-healthy diet. You can still enjoy rice in moderation. Opt for whole grain rice like brown rice or wild rice, and limit the portion size to about 12 to 1 cup per meal. It is also recommended to pair rice with plenty of vegetables and lean protein. Additionally, you can incorporate foods rich in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, into your diet to promote heart health. Remember to follow your doctor's advice and medication regimen for optimal recovery and management of your condition

I'm really worried about my mom. She had chest pain a week ago and her ECG showed T wave inversion in V4, V5, and V6. The echo also showed rwma. We started her on clopidogrel and nicorandil. Today, both the ECG and echo came back normal. What should we do next?
Since the recent ECG and echo results are normal, it is a positive sign. However, considering the previous findings, it is important to continue monitoring her closely. I would recommend continuing with Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots and Nicorandil to help with chest pain. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management should be followed. Regular follow-up visits with her cardiologist are also important to ensure her heart health is maintained.
